Lots of games! Staff is nice and willing to help when needed! It was easy to earn lots of points and not a lot of money was needed. We spent $40 and earned almost 7000 points in about an hour. It was a blast!
My kids enjoyed it. Great atmosphere and reasonably priced.
As of June 2025 Tuesdays are half price video games. Some of the games are a bit old- they could use some new ones and the basketball free throw game counter seems broken as the balls also are wore down and deflated. Place has potential if they put some money into it.
My granddaughters (4&5 yrs)utilized the ramp to successfully win second and fourth place scores. We had a ball! (Clichy, but true).First lane all to ourselves. 2 female adults rented shoess and only the five year old child could rent shoes. (No size available forc4 tear old).
There's no safety skates, there's only one walker to share amongst the entire place so there's 4 kids just falling and crying. The floors are bumpy and dirty so it's not a smooth skate. Front room has floors peeling up which my kid tripped on. They take your shoes for the skates so we have to go request them back every time someone needs to use the restroom. Def not my fav rink.
This was a fun place to go for either a fun date or a large family gathering. There is so much to do for everyone. Arcades, rolling skating, bowling, etc. So much to take in. We've been here before, and decided to bowl a couple of games. We hadn't been here in a while, so we were pleasantly surprised to see how one could personalize the scorekeeping. Really neat selfies! We also liked how a lot of the bowling balls were in the image of billiard balls. A nice touch. Great place to spend the afternoon w
If I could rate a zero I would. I hardly ever leave reviews but thought this was worth the share. My daughter had her 10th birthday party there. Was supposed to be from 3-5. At 3:30 the party room was still full from a previous party. Our party host decided to take us to some open tables at the front of the building, where everyone stands in line to bowl. Mind you, you pay for decorations and all. They asked my daughter when they called to confirm what color decorations/balloons she wanted, she asked
We had an amazing experience at Rock It Lanes with our group of 23! From the very beginning, Heather was fantastic in helping us coordinate our visit, explaining their group plans and rates so everything was smooth when we arrived. Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly and accommodating staff who answered all our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. Bowling was a blast, with fun music and a lively atmosphere. While some of the bowling balls were a bit wobbly and worn, I'd recommend brin
We took our family to skate at RockIt Lanes. Everybody had a blast. The kids also enjoyed the arcade. If you are going to roller blade I suggest taking your own if possible. The padding was really thin in the back of mine. Everybody in regular skates though didn't have a problem. We went on Sunday which is family day I believe. $12 skate all day and parents are half price at $6. Make sure everyone has CREW socks on though. You can't wear ankle or no show. You will have to purchase socks at $3/each.
Great place for birthday parties with a chose of two between bowling, skating, or arcade card. They had so much fun. And a very friendly staff. Will come back.
If you want a triple the fun place, this is the place to go. Just be ready to spend some money. Prices can be very expensive for large families. The arcade games are decently priced, averaging around 12 games for 10 dollars depending on what you play. Some games are above. Some are below 1 dollar. The food was concession food, though pretty expensive. (Again, we have a large family, so it's always a lot for us) Not enough to do for younger children under 5, granted there are games and bowling, I feel a
We had lots of fun here bowling and playing Pac Man at the arcade. We really felt like we were in middle school again ??
Great aracde!! Friendly staff and fun games. Tuesday are half price which makes it even more worth it. The only suggestion is.....do away with the red and green tokens that people spend hours counting in the prize room. Grown adults are in there acting like it's the casino. It's for kids people. I would just limit tickets to the cards. The tokens take way too much time to count and adults act like it's about them making kids wait forever while they count there 500000 tokens. Other than that great arcade an
Great place to take kids. Most games are $1 a play, some are $2 and the immersion videos are $5. Easily spend $40/hr per kid. You can also bowl and skate. Skate all day for $12 is the best deal.
Do not go to this place waste of time for you and your family better places to go. They charge you a cover of 10 for adults and 5 dollars. They try and give thse tickets to redeem for drinks. BTW that does include premium drinks. I went to a friends birthday party there. We went to put her birthday present in the car. And mind you we had armbands from their establishment and they tried to charge another 10 dollars to get back in. I'm local I have never seen that type of greediness of ripping people o
If I could've put no stars I would've ???? my 1st time here and the experience was HORRIBLE! waited at the tiki bar 20 mins for customer service. Then we received our skates the girl who charged us made an error and gave my friend the wrong skates and then blamed it on us when we told them at the end of our not even 5 mins of skating.the whole experience was disgusting to be my 1st time I won't be back ??
Great Family Fun place!!! It's always a hit with my grandboys.
Amazing place wish we had a bowling alley like this were we live. Affordable with a full arcade and roller rink as well. The animation use your own pictures when you throw the ball and score or get gutters it'd pretty funny and overall the place looks great.
Definitely crowded, but friendly staff and fairly clean. Arcade was very fun and many child and adult friendly games. Bowling lanes are very fun, and the wait wasn't bad considering all the people, bowling balls fit most people but definitely a struggle for people with excessively large fingers. I didn't roller skate, however it looked fun for older kids or adults, but it seems fairly dangerous for small children(there is no separation for beginners). The alcohol and juice wasn't priced too high, and most o
I felt racially profiled as a Hispanic , Manger got unprofessional and aggressive. Accused me of having a fake id , Instead of communicating with me as a ?manger ? he called the cops and escalated the issue and even threatened me by saying ?you're lucky I am on the clock? . I do have video of his exact words and I will be taking this issue into someone higher up .
Skating, bowling, arcade, and tiki bar all inside. Lots of fun for kids and adults. We went 2 times within a week. Spent approximately 2 hours each time. I'd say we spent around $150 each time we went. Games range from .50 to 1.00 for the most part. Bowling was $5 for 1 game and $4.50 for shoes.
I took my daughter here for her birthday on March 17 St. Patrick?s Day. The games were consistent. Everything was fun and enjoyable however, I was concerned with the amount of teenagers that surrounding the building and throughout the building the staff looked frustrated because of the teenagers acting up being loud and belligerent. I did see police/security approach a few of the teens. Good job to the staff for trying to be patient as possible with the place packed with nothing but out of towners and teena
Nice place to hang out and have fun. They have a lot of things you can do, from Arcade games to skating. The staff was nice and offered suggestions for the different activities. This was my second time here bowling, and we had a nice time.
Fun place with lots of activities for the kids - arcade, bowling, skating. Have to go on Tuesdays when arcade games are half price! Good value
We went to check it out and it was really busy. Very nice place. Bowling Alley, rollerskating rink, arcade, food. We came in for the French Dip and fries. It was very good. I had mine without cheese and it was so good. It was alot of sandwich and fries. I highly recommend it. The kids will love this place.
Manger so unprofessional and staff members. I will never spend my hard working money here again. Manger argued instead of trying to ?fix ? the issue are solved. Manger is not fit for the position.i never felt so unwelcomed in such a racial place!!!!!!
Very fun place for all! Staff is SUPER AWESOME! I mean they pull out all stops for people. It gets crazy in there with all the summertime visitors, we are locals so to see staff busy and still stop what they are doing to help my son and I with our cards that weren't working while trying to help others at the same time! Staff in the food station are also friendly and helpful! Fair prices too better than D&B as far as fun for money. My other 2 sons were skating and always have a blast with that! They also hav
Must visit arcade for Panama City beach. Best bang for your buck. We always come out with tons of prizes, they have new and updated games, skating rink, and bowling. Super fun place.
We stopped in here after supper today with the boys, it is right off the main drag and in walking distance from our resort. Today was 1/2 price arcade day, so we played arcades for some time. It was a great value at half price and the payouts for tickets was above average. They also have a bowling alley, sports bar, and roller rink. If we have a rain day over the rest of our trip we will be stopping back to try out skating.
It was fun, good people Ig... Bring your own skates, their bearings suck and you can't do much tricks, Floor sucks and has bumps everywhere. Who cares if you're a beginner and you fall just get back up and try again. I ripped my pants??
A nice bowling alley, video game/arcade, and roller rink. Servers cold beer & food at reasonable prices. Clean restrooms ramps for whoever may need use of them. Friendly staff. Separate bar located in back opens at 4pm I believe. Good way to kill a night. Stand alone burger joint in same parking lot and a high end restaurant couple of doors down.
Lots of games, decent prices but definitely overcrowded. The back section by the bowling lanes smelled like urine but it could have been worse. Washrooms were filthy. The virtual machines had no products to sanitize the masks so that was a hard pass. Despite all of the mess, it wasn't bad.
We spent a week in PCB early Spring Break. This place was great to get our kids out on the rain day. We were on a waiting list for bowling (1Hr). Waited 1:40 min. They were apologetic. Not a great experience personally, but the kids had fun. Burn some time, burn some money, and set your expectations when it's busy.
Clean facility. Plenty of fun arcade games. Bowling, decent prices. Roller skating. Bar Prizes are cool too, plenty of choices. Clean restrooms We come here every time we visit the area. Get there early for early bird prices and no crowds. Kids had a blast.
Fantastic atmosphere and decent price! Perfect family outing especially if your group is as competitive as ours is. Food and drinks are pretty good for bowling alley food as well
This place is wonderful. They offer skating, arcade games, air hockey table and bowling.They have lockers for you to use while you're skating. There are too many arcade games to count. They have a food court and a sports bar. The food is decent. They have 2 restroom areas available. There is a prize room for you to redeem all your winnings. It's great for all ages. If you come on Tuesdays then games are half off. Ample parking and very easy to find. Staff is friendly and helpful.
This place is honestly amazing, as a local it's definitely a place worth coming back to. The staff are so nice. Overall 9.5/10
This place was incredibly accommodating and helpful for our child's 8th birthday party. It was nice to have so much taken care of and so much help the day of. We have never had so much included within a birthday party package. I only had to communicate with everyone about the party and provide the cake. We got the two activity package (bowling/arcade). Our package came with pizza, drinks, a party attendant (you'll definitely want to ask for Grace), all decorations/paper goods, AND party favors! The easiest
This place is the worst!!!! Don't waste your time going here half no!!! More than half the machines don't work! You spend all your money on the game card just to find every machine you want to play don't work. I highly DON?T recommend this place.
One of the best ways to spend a family day in the 30A area. The prizes are AMAZING, the games are fun and well priced, its super clean and the people that work there all seem to love their jobs and customers. They are always willing to help and have so many fun things to do. It's a must do if you are in the area. One of our families favorite things to do in the area!
We had a lot of fun bowling. We could choose a character theme that uses three facial snap shots of each bowler (smile, sad, funny). After each frame, the characters would appear in a short animated video. Very funny!
Loads of fun. The bowling is pretty cheap and is great with a few friends. There is a very nice deal on beer. You can get the 16oz Budweiser for only $2 and they'll give you a 32oz if you buy two. There are some really fun arcade games, but there are also some really scammy ones. I would avoid the arcade as it's no where near worth the money.
Everything here was great. We spent about $100 for 2 games of bowling, skating, food, and arcade, which gave us 4 hours of entertainment. That's better then most all the attraction places around that cost more then this. Anytime we are in town I will definitely come back here.
Very disappointed with this place. I'm a local and have been coming here for years. Lately everything has gone down hill. The last few times we have come it seems ALL the games are shut down/broken. We lost money on many games. Not to mention the prize prices have DOUBLED!!! By the time you win enough tickets for anything you can go to Walmart and get it cheaper. The only real games working were the ones you win 5 tickets on or none at all. Games that require balls or sacks? Don't count on playing those eit
Its fun for all the family. It has so much to do from bowling to skating or playing games. Plus they have a variety of food and beverages. Loved it
This is a great place. We went on a weekend so it was a little crowed but we still had alot of fun.
Specifically, the 21 and older bar in the back! Great drink specials, friendly staff and a GREAT place to watch all your NFL games with the Sunday Ticket!
Rock it lanes saved my life. I had 2 weeks left before I died from my terminal cancer. I decided to spend one of my last days at Rock it Lanes to end things with a blast. When I got there, I got flashbacks to the 80's and it was like I was young again. I got on that roller rink, and used all my willpower to get speed. It was only 2 seconds before I fell though, and when I did, I fell on the malignant tumor on the back of my head. I was unconcious for a couple days, until I woke up in the hospital. When I wo
Visted while on Spring Break with the fam and man did we have a ball here!! Friendly customer service, fun games, ?? ?? ?? good vibes! Tiki?? & sports Bar?? ?????????? Good entertainment for all
The kids enjoyed this , as a added bonus to their trip, we also received some nice discounts that allowed them to enjoy an play even longer...
This a very clean establishment. The food was above average for an arcade/skating rink. The prices for rentals was fair. Remember to wear socks that go above the ankle. They do sell crew socks for $3 if you are without. Overall great experience with a very nice staff. They do a great job of wiping down tables and keeping the entire place clean. We will be back.
Place seemed like a mess. Lots of arcade machines weren't working and the place was hard to handle. We wanted to bowl but we were told they had leagues tonight and only had a few lanes available. 2.5 hour wait. I tried to look up league schedules, but I didn't see anything online.
Horrible place. Workers were rude and uninviting. Especially do not recommend if you have younger childern. Not really a family friendly place.
Regardless if staff were under the influence or not our family had a great time. We did not witness those things which were written about the staff, but if this is the case we don't want our family exposed to it. Lots to do other than bowl. Tuesdays are the days to go and do the arcade.
Great atmosphere with nice music, food is good. They have a skating area as well as a bunch of games. Its kids, family and friends friendly. The staffs are nice.
We MUST visit everytime we are in PBC... It's been once a year for 20 years now... Love the vibe... There is something there for every age group. From arcade to bowling, to roller skating and CiCi's pizza is right next door.
There is roller skating, bowling and game arcade all in one spot. With kids one can go through a lot of money ?? ??. The bowling was fun. The pizza was pretty good. They serve beer. In a rainy day, it's the place to be. Don't ever expect to earn or win a big prize.
Love this place. Fun for adults and kids. Friendly staff and fun games. Never tried the food but it looked good too!
Absolutely love this place! My go to for bowling in this area. Love the roller skating area. Having to wear high socks is a little bit of a bummer, but they do sell you some low quality socks for $3. Very good and mixed playlists. Music is always top notch, most hits. The only thing missing would be laser tag. Other than that bowling makes up for it. Definitely recommend bringing your kids over here and have some fun.
Worker bent my friends Tennessee license and called it fake. We threaten to call cops and manager says that real IDs don't bend?.
After a day at the beach it was a great way to wind down the kids since the beach was a tad cooler in the evening. 2 minutes from our hotel. The only down side was we were the only few with masks. For more family activities follow #bestmommyanddaughter
My babies are not so little any more and wanted to experience the fun me and dad had as young teens! This was definitely a fav spot 25 plus years ago!
Very fun place for your next birthday or getaway. Enjoy bowling, roller skating, arcade, food and drink. Price is cheaper than most. In a shopping complex that has other food and such. Friday and Saturday nights wait time is typically not too long and you have the arcade games to play while you're waiting.
We had so much fun! We brought the whole family down and everyone enjoyed bowling, drinking and the walking dead arcade game ?? We even got special names on the screen! ?? Guy on the counter was so chill and funny. We will go back when on vacation again!
Really fun place. Food was decent too. Lots of value and entertainment for the money
Had a blast. Accidentally spent 5hrs there and didnt realize it. Very family friendly.
Nice atmosphere; clean, nice bowling lanes with wide selection of bowling ball sizes for the very young and up. Staff friendly, great prices, arcade as well.
Came here Tuesday for half price arcade night. Just $100 got my family of 6 2-3 hours of arcade fun, also can't forget the food and drinks. Not sure who made the strawberry daiquiris but after 1 souvenir cup full, this mom was SWEATING and could FEEL it LOL! Highly recommend.
I had a great time with a new group of friends. Clean, fun, and friendly place to hang out and bowl.
Rainy day so we all went to the arcade! Yes it was awesome to have half off on Tuesday so we got to play technically twice as long. The place was super crowded today and quite a few games were broken down. One nice thing is the amount of yeti products in the gift shop. I took a picture of the pricing to let everyone know. We went with the 50 bucks and easily played for over 3 hours. They had a nice mix of both arcade games and token games. Yes the points and money stay on your card so do not lose it. Yes we
I had a good experience, the staff was ok, the place clean and organized. The price for the games was excellent, do you want to have a fun time? I recommend this place.
We had lots of fun, very clean, so much to do. Skating, games, and bowling. Great place for a birthday party! Sundays are half price days for parents as well!!
We had all our kids birthdays there, now our kids have there kids parties there. Always friendly and very helpful, plus all those games, wonderful place.
Any chance your stickers cannot go on the front of the pop toys where it's harder to remove or keeping as a collectable. Or where is harder to remove for a gift. Besides that, love the establishment, people, and the food is amazing! 5 stars
Rock'it Lanes is a great place for adults, kids & families! Lots of things to do for all. Bowling lanes, (full size, not duck pin). Tons of video games including amazingly huge versions of Pac-Man and Space invaders. They also have a full bar with several TV's and all the sports packages. There is also an outdoor patio off the bar for smoking/vaping. They also have a snack bar. The busiest times are weekends.
A bit crowded on a Saturday afternoon, the bowling experience is very nice with different take on bowling possible. The wait can be a bit long, but the roller skating and arcade is a good way to spend time waiting.
Nice arcade, but a lot of the bigger games were out of order (Jurassic Park, several large crane games, etc.) but overall still a really good time.
We go here once a year and my kids love this place especially on Tuesdays it's half price on games, if u buy souvenir cup you getting discount on refills.
This place is great. Prices are reasonable for everything!! We've enjoyed bowling, skating and playing games.
It's a fun place with everything you would want for entertainment. The prices are good. I do wish some of the arcade games were working. That's the reason for the 4 stars. The coffee is good here as well.
Okay so let me start this review off with the positives. The bowling alley is great. The people seemed okay. Never really interacted with employees while I was there. Speaking of being there. I was there for 4 hours with my wife and kids. We spent $100 on arcade tokens. Which come to find out was a mistake. Legit 60 percent of the machines did not work. That is the main problem at this place. Most of the machines are down. $100 will get you a lot of gameplay at that arcade with three people swiping three ca
We will definitely return next year. This place has skating, bowling, and an arcade where you dont have to win a million tickets for your child to get something decent. Also, when you buy skating (total $10.80/person), your arm band gets you back in until 2am. There is food here too, the usual that you would expect, but we didn't buy any.
We go here on a regular basis. Kids love to skate, then we can hit the arcade for a little bit. Scoop up the prizes on the way out. Great place for a last minute self made birthday party ??????. They also have birthday packages which are even better.
Great way to blow some steam with either bowling roller skating or lots of arcade games. There is food
Well kept bowling lanes. Lots of choices for arcade games. Parking lot is narrow, had small spots and confusing.
Took our 2 1/2 yo granddaughter here for some fun. She loved it. The lanes provided a ramp for her to use. The afternoon was a good time to come. We all enjoyed it. Very clean. Shoes fit well and good assortment of bowling balls.
We are here staying across the street and headed over with our kids and we had a blast! I was blown away by how clean and well run this place is! The staff members are SO nice and friendly and actually seem like they enjoy working there! Something very rare in this post Covid world. Highly recommend! ????
I turned in my game card along with tokens and cards. The employee told me I had 7050 points. I was waiting for the rest of my party to finish and when we were done we came back in for them to cash out their tickets. Again they told me I had 7050 points. I had my card in my possession and was shopping. My daughter and granddaughters combined their cards for a total of 17048 points and then they were also shopping. We gathered up the things that we wanted to purchase with our points and when my daughter got
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
